Hello all,

This week's spring clean has uncovered the following items:

- Half a dozen 6100/60s, various configurations, most lacking RAM.
- two IIfx, working
- two IIci, working
- two LCIII, working (these things actually breed in the darkest corners of
our office, I swear)
- a IIx, working
- Peforma 630, working

Some or all of them are yours for the taking if you'd be so good to pick em
up. Interested parties please reply to
ccr@communitytechnology_nospam_.org.uk, else it's all going in the bin.

Does anyone know of any place where old nags like these can go and rest?
I've seen that website running on an Apple Lisa, but is there a dedicated
fanbase for _these_ machines? are there any Lowendmac lists for UK users?
i'm loathe to skip anything, really. Well, anything Mac...

Incidentally, still many beige G3s for grabs...

A quick surf to the domain mentioned in the email address (spam trap removal
taken as a given) will tell you where he is.

Admittedly, the machines may not actually be at that location, but I think
it'd be fairly safe to assume they are on this occasion.

I better apologise in advance and eat my words, just in case they're at
their satellite depot in Aberdeen or something like that :-)

'wicked fast' and $10,000 a throw, ISTR! ;-)

eBay?

There's a general UK Mac list on Lowendmac - you could offer them
there. As you probably realise, prices for very old Macs are very
depressed at the moment. Ironically, you'd get more for the IIs on
eBay than for the 6100s!

Admitedly US-centric, but there's several UK folk on there.
The 68k Macintosh Liberation Army!

http://www.literatureclassics.com/68kmla/

A *wealth* of information on there.

It keeps my heavily expanded 660av & LC475 going strong! :)

Thanks for that link, Steve, I've added it to my growing pile. Seems like
there's a fair number of like minded Mac fanatics lurking in there...

And incidentally, yes, as pointed out, all our contact details are on the
website at:
www.communitytechnology.org.uk

and we are located in Brixton, South London, as are the Macs.

regards,

michael
